Could Wormholes Allow Time Travel? Collapsing 'Tunnels' Could Let Us Receive Messages From The Future, Claims Physicist
- Wormholes are theoretical tunnels that create shortcuts in space-time
- If a message entered a wormhole, it could reach the future or the past
- But wormholes are thought to collapse before a message could get out
- Dr Luke Butcher argues if a wormhole is longer than it is wide, the amount of negative energy inside would allow it to stay open longer than normal
- Long enough, he claims, to carry a single particle of light through time
- In theory, this photon could carry a message to a distant past or future

We’ve all wished someone from the future could send us tomorrow’s lottery ticket numbers.
While it may seem wishful thinking, a physicist from Cambridge University believes that, in theory, it could be possible.
He argues that if a thin wormhole stays open long enough, people might send messages instantly through time using pulses of light.
Wormholes are theoretical tunnels that create shortcuts in space-time. Dr Luke Butcher at Cambridge University argues that if a thin wormhole stays open long enough, people could send messages through time using pulses of light. In theory, this light- called a photon – could carry a message to a distant past or future.
